Design and development of an effective optical-variable-device-based security system incorporating additional synergistic security technologies

摘要

Abstract: Optically variable devices (OVDs) are becoming ever more popular as tools to provide security for documents and products subject to counterfeiting, forgery, and/or diversion. Issues faced during the design and implementation of OVDs for a specific security application include matching the proper security feature for its intended function, determining the method of the security features authenticity, and incorporating effective anti- counterfeiting protection for the OVD itself. Combining additional synergistic security technologies can be an effective approach to meeting the desired objectives in designing and implementing a security feature. !0
